02.03.2026 20:49 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I have been so lucky to have had absolutely fantastic mentorship from many senior academics in my short career, and great colleagues. But it’s also not uncommon to have seen how the pressures of academia bring out the worst of some people and how the culture can enable and encourage that

01.03.2026 19:59 — 👍 6 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 0Thanks so much for posting this. I am thinking of my next steps and I think my next job is not in academia. I don’t think the culture is good for me, and I think working for a smaller company would be nice. I don’t want to feel like a cog.
01.03.2026 21:24 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0They usually really go for the grass, and when they saw me approach they ran toward the fence. I think I served them a great disappointment. I’d like to think they’re still talking about it today.
01.03.2026 19:48 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0And if any of you are wondering why I pet a skunk, it’s fair to say I didn’t think it through. Now having said that, I’d do it again.
01.03.2026 19:36 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0So yesterday I pet this skunk called Gary and then I wanted to feed some llamas but the llamas were so disgusted by the way my hands smelled they refused to let me feed them. The attached photos are relevant.

Last year was the deadliest on record for journalists.
For the third year in a row, Israel killed more journalists and media workers than any other country amid the war in Gaza, according to a report released by the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Toisaalta (ja sori tää saattaa mennä saivartelusta) rikastuminen tarkoittaa eri ihmisille eri asioita. Koen, että kasvoin rikkaassa kodissa: lomailimme vuosittain ja ruokakaupassa saatiin ostaa mitä haluttiin ilman, että hintaa piti miettiä. Siihen voi yltää palkansaajanakin.

The new requirement of a uk passport for dual citizens to enter the UK is an absolute mess. Literally no one I’ve mentioned this to knew this was happening, it’s effective as of today, and I learnt about it from Instagram. Why does Uk treat dual citizens like this?

Thank you. I’ve just been sleeping so far which isn’t the worst except it’s hard to stay hydrated if you’re not awake.
